Shine

Imagine opening a door and all you see is darkness Suddenly, you're inside and surrounded by it Your mind fights to see some light But you can't focus on anything but the dark You turn around and glance into the doorway of past happiness Yet before you, all you can see is despair and anguish How and why do you move forward? What is your inspiration to take another step? Love ones died, failed goals and diminished aspiration But you feel that you must go on, why? Why, because you are a one and only A precious creation like no other Many can do what you do but no one can do what you do You are formed to change, influence and inspire a life Just as these words may do for you Remember, life is never consistent Like the weather, it can change at any moment And just as such, we must prepare for such There's a coat available that you can put on Don the coat of love from your family and friends If you chose to wear, it will shield you from the rain And the darkness may not be so overwhelming Darkness and rain is just a state of mind For at your birth, sunshine was embedded in you But it's up to you to keep it glowing Don't let nothing engulf you in that darkness Your purpose is greater than you think So shine, as only you can Shine baby shine, like no other

There’s a coat available that you can put on… I like that. Agency, not fate. Good stuff, Kenneth.
